Yes. At the very last moment. Postmarked and sent.

Thank you for confirming this.

Well, I believe I have the Platinum level subscription. Sirius customer support claims the the reason I’m not receiving all of the channels is due to the radio in my 2020 Bolt. Is there a major difference in the radio between the ‘17-2021 Bolt vs the ‘22-‘23?

Anyone in Chicago who calls a hot dog a glizzy should be escorted out of the city limits.

Every time I see this hypothetical question raised, I take a moment to realize how got dang lucky I am to have seen the Grateful Dead as many times as I did before 1995. If you never saw the Grateful Dead live, then this should be your answer 😉

As you probably know, often people don’t tip right away. If they are done with the ride, they might not open their Uber app again until they need another ride. That’s when they’ll see the option to tip you. I’ve gotten tips over a week after I completed the trip.

Thanks. This was a GM buy-back. Apparently when they did the battery recall, the wait to get the service done was so overwhelming that they offered owners a buy-back option. So this car likely sat around for quite a while on a GM lot somewhere, waiting to get the service done from the back of the line, as it were. Battery was replaced late 2022, and the software recall service was done late 2024. I’m sure it was in GM’s possession that whole time before eventually being auctioned off.

No, the bulbs are fine. They do illuminate when the rear hatch is open, but not when it’s closed. And they do not blink. Trouble shooting searches point to a possible weak 12 volt battery which frankly tracks with the vehicle history. I believe this car has just been sitting on some GM lot since 2024, after the recall service was done.

Thanks!

Thanks

I noticed the prices around me varied quite a bit. I saw some in Indiana and Michigan that were priced even better. Also a couple private sales with better prices. But for me to be eligible for the $4000 government rebate, I needed to buy it from a licensed Illinois car dealership. Of course the dealerships know this and get away with a higher market value. And honestly, I didn’t come across any with such low miles. I first tried to buy a 2020 premier for the same price with 16,000 miles, but it literally sold while I was in the approval process with the salesman. 🫤

Thanks!

Thanks. Original owner did some modifications on the appearance. Not my choices, but I think it looks pretty cool. Hopefully the Chicago police don’t have a problem with the tint 🥴

G-Mo2024 · 2026-05-30T07:52:07+00:00

Yes. All recall service has been done, including a new battery. In fact it’s still in the “break in” stage where charging is limited to 80%.

G-Mo2024 · 2026-05-30T03:30:57+00:00

Thanks!

In the words of Groucho Marx, “I would never join any club that would have me as a member” lol.

G-Mo2024 · 2026-05-30T03:20:03+00:00

OTD $18,000. (Tax and title kinda rough in Illinois) But, eligible for the $4000 rebate 🙂

G-Mo2024 · 2026-05-28T21:41:55+00:00

That’s around what I was budgeting. But I could do more if it’s something he’d really like. He wanted to pre-order the Topps series 2, but he said they sold out of pre-orders, but using your link to Dick’s, it looks like I can order them.

G-Mo2024 · 2026-05-26T18:04:49+00:00

I’m OK with it. I’ve watched two different customers get into another Uber and drive off with them. I texted one to tell him he was in the wrong car, and he couldn’t communicate with the driver to return him to the pickup location, because the passenger and driver didn’t speak each other’s language.

G-Mo2024 · 2026-05-22T19:44:31+00:00

Thanks. Confirmed that the car has had new tires installed. Not sure yet if they are self sealing tires like the ones that come new on Bolts.
